Anyone tried it rear motor?
I am waiting on mine, but it will be "rear motor"-ed.

following on from the talk about steering.

I removed both spacers from front shocks, went long wheel base and also moved rear shocks to middle hole on the tower and i had bags of steering.

Car was better today on polished/carpet floor went longer on rear camber link with short wheel base and max spacer in anti squat, I was ok over q lap but not consistent. Need some more forward traction when slow (from nearly stopped) thought about lowering anti squat but it's so good over the bumps dint want to change it. Ant suggestions?

Ran the car at Southport indoor astro and also on carpet, the only change in set up on the carpet was Front Yellow mini pin, Front Losi green spring and Rear losi Pink spring. The weight in the front is a must! helps the car no end!

cool. How have u got 25g in the bulkhead. I managed to get 25g around the front of servo under steering rack and some on top of servo but not managed to get any further forward than this.

I melted and shaped some lead to fit inside the bulk head, It would be nice if someone could make a brass front lower lower suspension mount and a 30g brass weight to fit inside the front bulkhead like I have done with lead.

[s22jgs]

aaaah cool a custom melt job.
Im sure someone will make some brass bits for it.

I am going model a bulk head up in cad and see how much weight I can add. just finished modelling up the chassis.

[s22jgs]

between 50 and 60g will be ideal i think

[spud31]

there is a product called liquid lead that can be heated in hot water and poured in

Just a quick question ...

If the Yoke lacks a little steering how come no-one seems to run with the lipos long ways Durango style ? would be the obvious way to get a bit more up front without adding to overall weight or is there a reason ?

I would say it's about balance, the car has very good rear end grip and you don't want to get more steering by taking it away from the rear. When I added the weight, the cars now feels very balanced front to rear.

When buying the MM car do you get all the bits for the rear motor as well or will that have to be purchased later?

[Rayzerp]

All bits included in one box....mid or rear

[cryer-evo]

Hi all looking at getting one of these wot sort of spares should I get ?

[s22jgs]

probably just some arms, rear hubs, front hubs, steering blocks and rear shock shafts. Its pretty bullet proof

My only concern is the more weight you add the more stress you add to BM-002 FRpart.
Gonna dig the scales out to see what the weight increase will be

Current weight of a BM-300FL 8g Brass Version with lead pocket removed 52g

44g Increase.
